I think anything which "awakens" the mind to other ideas and concepts is a great thing however, what works for you may not work for another. This movie follows another train of thought, another philosophy which is no more right than any other.
One could question who is the one brainwashed? Wishing to propagate your new found ideals on the "ignorant masses" is akin to fundamentalism, who is to say what is the lie? Who are you to decide people should have their minds opened, opened to your new found belief?
Zeitgeist is an interesting movie but it is still propaganda, that is it promotes someones belief and agenda, kinda like most splinter religions such as Scientology etc don't you think?
When your eyes are opened its natural you want to teach the world to see, there is so much of it on this board (not a criticism) everyone wants to share their new found mantra whether it is conscious thought creating or channeled messages from spacemen, all believing they are enlightened.
This may be a step to enlightenment but it would be a mistake to believe some New Age philosophy makes you more enlightened than the guy delivering the mail who likes wrestling and watching crime dramas.
If it works for you then great but surely each must find their own way, their own path, in their own time.
Personally I think the first step in enlightenment is complete removal of judgment, now there's a paradox!
